Battlefield 4 release date leaked - by EA Germany

EA Germany may have leaked the release date for Battlefield 4 by accident.

While it's hard to imagine such a large organisation 'accidentally' leaking such an important bit of information, EA Germany posted the 31st of October release date on their Facebook page.

Battlefield 4 is the latest in the popular Battlefield series of multiplayer war games from EA that sets two teams of soldiers against each other in a highly realistic rendition of a modern battlefield.

Players take on one of a set of team roles, from generic soldier, sniper, medic and engineer and must work together across various battlefields, fighting for control of objectives.

One of the series' highlights is the increasing realism portrayed in the games without sacrificing the element of fun.

Battelfield 3 is available via EA's Origin service for Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and PC.
